FastBuds Banana Purple Punch Auto

GrowInBavaria Better late than never! May 14, 2025 – Day 10 The seed was sown directly in NARCOS Organic Mix and then watered with regular water until the seedling popped up. From then on, fertilization was done according to the Xpert Nutrients feeding schedule!

GrowInBavaria 19.05.2025 – Day 15 I repotted into 18L fabric pots, and the plant is now on my balcony. I'm not going to fertilize for a week and then I'll follow the usual feeding schedule from Xpert Nutrients!

GrowInBavaria 26.05.2025 – Day 22 Only water with CalMag was used for watering again! 01.06.2025 – Day 28 Today the photo was taken before watering, starting today, nutrients will be added according to the schedule again!

GrowInBavaria 09.06.2025 – Day 36 Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo in week 5. At that time, however, no stigmas were visible yet. So I continued to fertilize according to the feeding schedule for the last week of veg. 11.06.2025 – Day 38 In the meantime, the first stigmas are clearly visible. I have now found a special feeding schedule for Autoflowers from Xpert Nutrients and will follow it from now on. Unfortunately, I currently have a – let's say – moderate infestation of aphids. To combat this, I am currently using Leaf Coat from BioBizz as well as the Protect Spray from Plant BoOom. I hope to get the situation under control soon.

GrowInBavaria 11.06.2025 – Day 48 I watered as usual, but only once. Other than that, I just gave water. In between, I also added a bit of nettle tea.

GrowInBavaria 27.06.2025 – Day 54 Again, I fertilized according to the schedule. Unfortunately, I forgot the Sugar Shot this time. I also noticed a moderate infestation of aphids and other insects. So, I ordered some lacewings since I'm already in the later flowering phase and don't want to use neem oil anymore. 29.06.2025 - Day 56 Everything's the same, just gave water again.

GrowInBavaria 02.07.2025 - Day 59 Fertilization was done again according to the nutrient schedule, otherwise just water! The buds are developing beautifully now, and you can definitely see a difference when growing with minerals!

GrowInBavaria 12.07.2025 – Day 69 This week, I continued to water only with water. Unfortunately, I noticed that there has been a bit of a stronger infestation of aphids. Additionally, there are some cat hairs hanging in the buds – a little gift from my fur babies 😄. The affected plants were thoroughly showered with a battery-operated sprayer, which removed many pests already. I also removed large sun sails to prevent mold formation. I had already released lacewing larvae two weeks ago – they are also doing a great job in the fight against aphids. The trichomes are now mostly milky – a clear sign that the harvest is just around the corner! So, harvesting will take place this week. For the first time, I will try Bud Washing – I'm excited about the results! The terpenes in this phenotype are definitely extremely intense and promising. ***Just saw that I hadn't made this grow public at all... Better late than never 😅😂***

GrowInBavaria 18.07.2025 - Day 75 Better late than never! I initially removed all the fan leaves and then cut the individual shoots and treated them separately. Unfortunately, I had quite a strong infestation of aphids, which is why I decided to do a Bud Washing for the first time. First, I tried to remove most of the aphids with a spray nozzle. After that, I let the buds dry briefly before I finally washed them thoroughly – as follows: I prepared three buckets: Bucket 1: Water + baking soda + citric acid Bucket 2: Pure water Bucket 3: Also pure water The shoots were dipped individually into the buckets and gently moved back and forth. You could clearly see how dirt and remnants of the aphids were coming off. I would estimate that I was able to remove about 60–70% of the aphids – mostly the empty shells. Afterwards, the shoots hung for about two days to pre-dry. Then they were further dried for around seven days in DryFerm Bags – at a humidity of about 55–65%. After that, the curing took place in Grove Bags, at a stable 60–65% relative humidity. Looking back, I can say: This was probably my best outdoor grow so far! The only small downside was the aphid infestation – but that's just part of nature. I only fertilized once a week; otherwise, it was just water. Still, the result is really impressive! The buds are not overly compact, but visually very appealing – I am absolutely satisfied. A big thank you to FastBuds and Xpert Nutrients for providing me with both the seeds and the nutrients! 🙌
